WHITE HOUSE. ALL RIGHT. THE TIME IS 1218. LET’S TALK TO DEREK AGAIN. HE IS BACK WITH THE WEATHER. A LOT OF RAIN EXPECTED TO FALL. THE GOOD NEWS THOUGH, IF YOU HAVE AN AFTERNOON ACTIVITY, YOU MAY BE IN THE CLEAR. NO PUN INTENDED. RIGHT. EXACTLY. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THEY GO UP HERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. TRACKER. SO JUST KIND OF HIT AND MISS. I DON’T THINK EVERYBODY IS GOING TO SEE ALL THE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. THEY’RE KIND OF SCATTERED HERE IN NATURE. AND THAT’S PRETTY MUCH WHAT WDSU FIRST WARNING DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR IS SCANNING IN. PRETTY MUCH CONFIRMING FOR US RIGHT NOW. AND, YOU KNOW, AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT’S A LOT A LOT OF IT IS MAINLY FOCUSED CLOSER TOWARDS THE METRO. SO WE’LL GO AHEAD AND ZOOM IN THERE BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING THE MAJORITY OF THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY TAKING SHAPE, MOVING TOWARDS THE EAST. AND IN FACT, WE DO HAVE A POLYGON COMING UP. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WARNED FOR THESE THUNDERSTORMS. SO THEY’RE JUST BELOW SEVERE LEVELS. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE’RE WATCHING OUT FOR FOR JEFFERSON PARISH UNTIL 1245, INCLUDING PORTIONS OF ORLEANS PARISH HERE AS WELL. SO WE’RE WATCHING THIS PRETTY HEAVY THUNDERSTORM MOVING THROUGH GENTILLY JUST EAST OF NEW ORLEANS DOWNTOWN, AND ALSO TOWARDS MARRERO AND JUST TO THE NORTH THERE OF A STILL WATCHING THIS THUNDERSTORM CLUSTER HERE TO WIDEN THE MAP OUT AND GO BACK TOWARDS THE WEST, BECAUSE WE’RE ALSO WATCHING THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE RIVER PARISHES HERE TOO. SO WE’LL BE WATCHING OUT FOR SOME TRAINING OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING OVER THE SAME LOCATION. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE. AND THAT COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE FLOODING ROADWAYS AT THE SAME TIME. SO IT WILL WATCH OUT FOR THAT, BECAUSE THERE’S ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF A MARGINAL FLOOD THREAT, WHICH WE’LL GET TO HERE IN A SECOND. BUT I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE OTHER FEATURES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. SO REMEMBER ALL THOSE THUNDERSTORMS THAT WE HAD HERE YESTERDAY? WELL, NOW THEY’RE TRACKING THEIR WAY TOWARDS THE EAST AND NEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONCE AGAIN DEVELOPING BECAUSE THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARE PRETTY FAVORABLE FOR THAT TO OCCUR HERE TODAY. SO WE’VE GOT PLENTY OF FACTORS HERE GOING ON AS WELL, INCLUDING A WARM, MOIST, HUMID AIR. MASS TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY INTO THE 80S 80 CURRENTLY IN BELLE CHASE, 84 IN KENNER. AND THE FORECAST IN GENERAL TODAY IS GOING TO CALL FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, SOME OF THEM EVEN TURNING STRONG WITH SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AS WELL AT TIMES AND HIGH TEMPERATURES AT AROUND 87, THERE IS A LEVEL ONE MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR THE SOUTH SHORE, THE BAYOU AND THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES. THAT MEANS THAT ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE. MAIN THREATS ARE GOING TO BE LARGE HAIL, GUSTY WINDS AND SOME FLOODING. NOT EXPECTING A TORNADO THREAT THOUGH ONCE WHATSOEVER THERE IS A LEVEL ONE MARGINAL RISK OF FLASH FLOODING FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI HERE TOO. SO LET’S TIME THINGS OUT HERE AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HERE’S 3:00 LOOKING AT SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS, MAINLY FOR THE SOUTH SHORE AND TOWARDS THE COAST AND BAYOU AREAS. 6:00 THAT FOCUS WILL PROBABLY SHIFT MORE TOWARDS THE NORTH SHORE, AS UP THERE WE COULD BE LOOKING AT MORE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HERE. POTENTIALLY. AND BY 10:00 I’M REALLY EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BEGIN TO WIND DOWN AND SUBSIDE BY THAT POINT. AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF YOUR NIGHT, IT WILL TURN OVERALL MOSTLY CLEAR. WE’RE WATCHING FOR MORE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD TAKE SHAPE AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY TOMORROW OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, MOVING IN THAT BLUE LINE THERE, SCATTERED SHOWERS BEGIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTH SHORE AT AROUND 1:00. AND YOU CAN SEE AS THAT LINE MOVES SOUTH, A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TAKE SHAPE TOWARDS THE METRO AND THE SOUTH SHORE AND BAYOU AREAS. AND YOU CAN SEE AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST 10:00, BECAUSE BY THAT POINT, EVERYTHING BEGINS TO WIND DOWN AS THAT FRONT MOVES THROUGH. AND OF COURSE, WE LOSE THE HEATING OF THE DAY. SO THE STORM IMPACTS TOMORROW. EVERYTHING LOOKING PRETTY LOW AS FAR AS OUR STORM MODES ARE CONCERNED. LARGE HAIL, GUSTY WINDS AND FLOODING. THE PRIMARY CONCERNS, AND WE’RE ALSO EXPECTING A LEVEL ONE MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER HERE TOO. AS YOU CAN SEE, OUTLINED IN GREEN FOR EVERYBODY ACROSS THE AREA. WDSU FIRST WARNING, SEVEN DAY FORECAST WEATHER IMPACT DAY. AGAIN FOR TOMORROW WE GET A BREAK IN THE WET AND STORMY WEATHER THIS WEEKEND AND ALSO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE OUR NEXT RAIN STOR
